I've always thought about enlisting, just never really, really thought it through until now that he's passed away and I feel this is the best way to honor him, as he was the greatest man I've ever met. Also it's likely they'll put his house up for sale, and I just won't let that house leave the family - and I won't be able to put myself through college and buy a house at the same time. So I figured I'd enlist, serve my country, serve my family, buy that house and put myself through college all in one full swoop. And I'd like to think I'd be a good soldier.
